    EVS Architecture

    Discuss Potential of using a variety of architectures

    Proposed topics for discussion:

    • Micro services
      • Considerations:
        • Determine how to synchronize data on the back-end. LexEVS DB and Triple Store need to be in sync when NCIt information (such as value sets) changes. 
        • Determine the potential of a loader that relies on SPARQL queries (after SPARQL query load, kick off LexEVS loader)
    • LexEVS integration with EVS Triple Store
      • Considerations:
        • Determine use of triple store calls in parallel with LexEVS DB
        • Determine performance improvements over LexEVS DB
        • Determine what calls could be made to the triple store instead of LexEVS.
        • Determine use of Stardog built in graph database.
        • Determine performance considerations for hierarchy traversal for graph resolution.
    • Future implementation considerations
